Given the following table showing the hourly wages of employees of a movie theater based on their length of employment.

<span>Length of employment (months)         Hourly wage (dollars/hour)
6 months                                                          7.55
12 months                                                        7.85
18 months                                                        8.15
24 months                                                        8.45

To obtain an algebraic expression </span>that describes how much Bailey’s employer pays part-time workers, we take two points from the table.

Recall that the equation of a linear function satisfying two points
(x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2)
is given by
\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1} = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Given the two points (6, 7.55) and (12, 7.85), the algebraic expression relating the two points is given by
\frac{y-7.55}{x-6} = \frac{7.85-7.55}{12-6} = \frac{0.3}{6}  \\  \\ 6(y-7.55)=0.3(x-6) \\  \\ 6y-45.3=0.3x-1.8 \\  \\ 0.3x-6y=-43.5

Therefore, the <span>algebraic expression that describes how much Bailey’s employer pays part-time workers is
0.3x-6y=-43.5</span>

amm1812

Answer:

300 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

If we were using feet the expression would be 198x, where x is feet per second

Since they are asking in meters we need to convert feet to meters

When you do that you get 60

Now the expression is 60x

When you plug 5 into the equation it is 300

Can someone help me with this please,thanks also giving brainlest.

You would multiply 100 by 6 to get the 6 away from m. this leaves m on one side of the equal sign and 6•100 on the other. multiply that out, which is 600. so m=600.
